This beautiful couple is from Texas! It seems right that I blog their Wisconsin engagement session as I leave for Houston TX tomorrow for photo shoots! We picked Holy Hill because Richard and McKinnon wanted fall photos! They don't get fall like this in Texas. 

Our second location was just outside of Holy Hill, you can see the Church in the background on top of the hill. It looks just like a castle! AND McKinnon looks like princess with her beautiful long hair and my glittery dress. 

Richard, McKinnon and their pups are so adorable!

Green Bay WI Fall Engagement Photos | Deanna and Tim

Deanna and Time met in college where they both swam on the swim team.

"When I met him I knew there was something about him and we were going to end up together. Started dating about 3 months into college and have been together since (9 years). I actually knew of Tim when we were younger (he was a really great swimmer and one of the top in the state). I would always hear his name being called as the winner so of course I would watch him swim and watch him after his races. When I heard we were going to the same college I was really excited to get to know him as a person. I would also tell my college room mates that I could see Tim and I marrying one day...and here we are" - Deanna

Deanna and Tim's wedding is my first for 2018! I can't wait to photograph their wedding at Gather On Broadway.

Jessica is the PERFECT example of a DIY Bride! She made her own wedding cake, her own AHH-MAAZZZINGG macarons AND created her own wedding bouquet and centerpieces. Jessica and Jones ordered florals from Flower Moxie and did a great job arranging florals for the reception decor. Instead of a DJ or band they hired someone to play an accordion during the ceremony and reception. They traveled all the way from Georgia for their intimate Door County wedding at Gordon Lodge in Bailey's Harbor.

Eric and Angelica's love story started on a Tuesday afternoon at The Silver Dollar Saloon, a bar at UW-Stout in Menomonie, Wisconsin. They immediately caught each other's eyes across the room...Angelica with her beautiful smile and Eric with his handsome dimples! The chemistry was instant. It was their last semester of college so they only began to get to know each other. Then, fate led them both to Minneapolis, Minnesota, for their first jobs out of college. This blessing allowed them to continue getting to know each other and discover that neither of them wanted to live in a world without the other.

We were having a fire, listening to country music one Friday night and he told me his grandparents got us a gift. He left and returned with a wooden sign that said “The Skervens: Trevor & Jena". He said you might think this is a little weird as he handed it to me. I stared at it, slightly confused and started to say, “yeah, a little…” He said, “well it might be because of this…” and he pulled out the ring! I was so surprised.

"We met at a bar downtown in Milwaukee (we always laugh about this) and from there Thomas had me put my phone number in his phone! The next morning, not really even thinking about the prior night, he had friend requested me on FB. I saw that we both studied mathematics in school so I knew we would click right away. Thomas and I went to Cheesecake Factory for our first date.  I was so nervous that I let my cranberry vodka drink pretty much turn into water, the ice melted. From there, everything is history! We did long distance while I finished my senior year of school.  Once I graduated from Marquette I got a job in Madison and moved there! We didn't move in together until about a year later, since then it has been wonderful. We have dated for almost 6 years and decided this year was the perfect time to get engaged and then get married!"

Warner Park Community Center Madison WI Wedding

"Chris and I met at Camp LuWiSoMo during a winter church retreat in January 2013. While we talked and got to know each other a bit, nothing came of our newfound friendship besides exchanging phone numbers. As the weeks passed, we kept bumping into each other at Calvary Lutheran Church in Madison, WI. This eventually lead to walking to church together, as our apartments in Madison were near by. Our first official date consisted of riding bikes and playing catch at a nearby park. We shared stories, giggles, and our love for being outside. As the dates continued, we also continued sharing our time together outdoors--biking, rollerblading, downhill and cross-country skiing, and eventually camping and hiking. We still love to do these activities together, and have since included more fishing (per Chris), more running (per Emily), and kayaking."

"We both knew that this was something special from the start.  He literally loves me unconditionally. He makes me a better person and he is my other half. When Michael proposed, obviously I said yes. Unfortunately, I sort of knew it was coming as I had picked out the ring myself and knew where it was “hidden.” I’d check the hiding spot everyday to see if it was still there or if Michael had moved it for the sake of a proposal. We’d always joked about putting the ring in food as that is something we really bond over (specifically tacos and ice cream) and I suppose I had a hunch that he would actually do it. One day, I was sitting on the couch, watching Netflix when he walked out of the bedroom with a bag of peanut butter M&M’s. As those are my favorite, he poured a few in my hand and out popped the ring! I had to ask if he was serious a few times over and finish chewing as PB M&M’s are high on my priority list. I sort of stared at him for a few moments as he smirked and then finally got down on one knee. It was perfect, simple, romantic, and totally us. We aren’t super flashy or fancy people so doing it in the comfort of our 1st home together over a bag of my favorite candy was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t have asked for a better proposal." - Alli
